Idrive around alot--I'm a commuter. On my commute I see political signsall the time. It is interesting that, in this election, arguably themost important in a long long time, there are very few presidentialyard signs out in the country where I live. Oh--there are plenty oflocal signs--for local elections, but the presidential endorsements areglaringly lacking.

What this tells me is that most of these people are going to vote forMcCain and Palin, but they are too embarrassed to admit that kind ofidiocy. Its NOT idiocy though--its straight up prejudice. No surprisethere--I mean--we live in a country that enslaves people of color underthe guise of the prison industry.

I hope my observation is wrong, but growing up and living in a white-supremacist society tells me different...

In many ways I think that OBAMA needs to lose in order for things toget better. Americans don't care about things until they are impactedby something directly. If mass incarcerations, the nazification of theunited states, constitutional rights erosion, and unjust wars are notenough to wake up the american people, perhaps they deserve Sarah andJohn as their leaders...
